Hey, guys! I updated quickly!! WOO HOO!!! GO ME!!!! Yeah well I suppose you'd rather read the story than listen to me rant and rave, so here y'all are:
(General POV)
Macnair had an appointment to speak to the Dark Lord any minute now.
"Come in," said Voldemort.
Macnair raced in. "Lord, Master, I have found information for you. I was having a drink in the Hog's Head a couple days ago and Albus Dumbledore was there. He was speaking to this woman, a Seer, I presume because she went into a trance! Let me tell you. She talked about a Dark Lord! I think it was you! And I'm remembering this, but she said that a baby was going to born at the end of July, and that you would somehow mark this baby and only this baby would have the power to defeat you. But then it said something about neither of you being alive while the other is. So you can kill this baby!"
"I'm not denying that I'm very grateful, Macnair. However, it would be very helpful if you had the exact wording."
"I'm sorry, Master. It was a couple days ago. I've been desperately trying to reach you since then, but they all said you were busy."
"Very well, Macnair. I appreciate this information."
"Do you know who it is, my Lord?"
"I can't say I'm sure, but I somehow think it's a Potter."
"But Master, they're all dead. Except for James, I mean."
"Exactly. James. James and his lover Lily. What if they're having a child?"
(Lily's POV)
"I'm getting James," I said. "Save us a seat."
I sat on the edge of his bed minutes later.
"James, it's dinner time," I whispered.
"Oh wait a while," he replied.
"Sure, baby," I said.
All of a sudden, he grabbed me, pulled me down, and gave me a huge kiss.
"I love you," he said, tears in his eyes.
"Hey, it's okay," I said, taken back. "I love you, too."
"Can you promise that when we have kids we'll never leave them?"
"I don't have control over that, James. But I do swear I'll do everything in my power to be there."
A smile appeared on his face.
"Wanna get started on those kids then?"
"James!" I exclaimed. "Do I want to get pregnant now?"
"Do you?"
"Maybe after school!"
"Fine. Can we at least get our freak on!?" He batted his eyelashes. "Please..."
"I suppose..." I acquiesced. What else was I supposed to say?"
"'I suppose?'" repeated James. "That's all you say?"
"I mean, Oh yes, of course, sexy," I corrected, slipping of my shirt.
Dinner could wait.
(James' POV)
"Hey, Lils, guess what?" I said at 7:05 while we were wrapped in each other's arms after our passionate moment.
"What?"
"That Order meeting started five minutes ago."
"Oh shit!" she exclaimed, pulling on her clothes. "Let's go!"
We arrived with a screeching halt (albeit figuratively) at the Rodniffyrg Lecture Hall.
"Sorry we're late, Professor, we didn't realize the time-"
"Just have a seat, you two." He grinned and nodded at the two front seats.
"Thanks," we whispered, and we sat down.
"As I was saying," continued Dumbledore. "Well, we need to make a final pact of who's in this and then make a list and swear secrecy. I'm passing a piece of parchment around. Write your name down if you agree to this. Once you have, you're bound for life."
Lily and I put our names down and passed the list to the other Maurauders behind us.
"Where were you?" asked Sirius.
"None of your business."
"Oooh la la..."
"Up yours, Padfoot."
"James, you seem better," said Remus.
"Yeah, I guess..."
"Ahem!" said Dumbledore. "Well... Let me tell you about this event that happened last week. I was interviewing a candidate for the Divination position, as many of you know our current professor is leaving. Nevertheless, she made a prophecy during the interview, I believe. Having my captive memory, I remember these exact words. Let me repeat them, and then we can work on solving this.
'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies....and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.'
What do you all think about this?"
"Well," said Amos Diggory from the back of the room. "Which people do you know either are going to have a baby in July and have defeated Voldemort three times?"
"Amos, it didn't say that it had to be this coming July," said Frank Longbottom, Sr. "And maybe whoever is supposed to defeat him three times hasn't done it yet."
"You bring up excellent points, Frank," said Dumbledore. "Ladies and gentleman, we have to keep all options open."
"It's safe to assume that whoever is defeating him is against him, though, right?" I asked.
"I'm not quite sure," said Dumbledore. "It could be on accident, but that's very unlikely. We're not assuming, though it is very likely that it is the case."
"Is there much we can do now, then?" asked Lily. "We don't have much information to go by. We know this prophecy. That's it- unless you count that Voldemort is after the Potters..."
The room started buzzing.
"Potters?"
"What?"
"Is that why everyone said James's family died?"
"Everyone quiet down!" boomed Dumbledore. "James, do you mind if I share?"
"I guess not..." I shrugged. I didn't know.
"Well, James's parents and sister were murdered last week by Lord Voldemort. My sources tell me that Voldemort is out to annihilate the Potters. I will do everything in my might to keep James safe, as he is the last Potter alive."
"Oh my god, James, I'm so sorry!" cried Amelia, Amos's girlfriend. Other girls apologized as well.
"Thanks guys," I said. "But I just prefer we don't talk about it that much. It won't bring them back."
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before I started crying again. Lily touched my arm.
Dumbledore must have sensed this because he announced, "Okay, we've started on some things today. I'll get in touch with you for more meeting times later in the week. You're all free to leave."
YEAH GUYS!! I updated!!! I bet you're so proud. Yeah. Well I have to go now. Thanks for y'all people who reviewed. But I have my sources (tee hee just like Dumbledore) and I do know that some of you are reading and not reviewing. I'd just like to take the time to ask for those reviews because if I take the time to write for you guys, the least you could do is thank me and comment. Really. Otherwise, I don't want to write! ï So yeah. Please review. And next update within a few weeks. Bye bye!
